Industrial Salt

About Industrial Salt

Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride(NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in itsnatural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite. Salt ispresent in vast quantities in seawater, where it is the main mineralconstituent. Salt (NaCl), sodium chloride, mineral substance of greatimportance to human and animal health, as well as to industry. The mineral formhalite, or rock salt, is sometimes called common salt to distinguish it from aclass of chemical compounds called salts. Sodium is an essential nutrient forhuman health via its role as an electrolyte and osmotic solute.

CMS Salt is processed from salt mines, and by theevaporation of seawater (sea salt) and mineral-rich spring water in shallowpools. It is used in many industrial processes including the manufacture ofpolyvinyl chloride, plastics, paper pulp and many other products. In thechemical industry, salt is required in the manufacture of sodium bicarbonate(baking soda), sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), hydrochloric acid, chlorine,and many other chemicals. Salt is also employed in soap, glaze, and porcelainenamel manufacture and enters into metallurgical processes as a flux (asubstance promoting fusing of metals).

Versatility Across Industries

Industrial salt serves a broad range of applications spanning from food processing to textile dyeing, water treatment, and even in agriculture as a nutrient source. Its effectiveness extends to de-icing during winter, manufacturing soap, extinguishers, and as a stabilizer in chemical industries. Available in multiple forms, it addresses diverse operational requirements.


Quality and Storage Requirements

Manufactured in India under stringent quality standards, our industrial salt is available as raw, triple refined free flow, and iodised variants. To maintain its integrity, it must be stored away from moisture as it easily absorbs humidity which could affect its performance in industrial processes.
